Free AZ-305 sample questions

3 questions from the free diagnostic, with answers and explanations.

Question 1 · Design solutions for logging and monitoring

Trey Research wants one place to collect platform logs and VM logs from all its subscriptions, and to query them together with KQL. What should you recommend?

  1. A central Log Analytics workspace
  2. A storage account in each subscription for every log type
  3. An event hub in each region, read by a custom app
  4. Application Insights for each VM
Show answer

Answer: A (A central Log Analytics workspace)

A Log Analytics workspace stores logs from many sources and subscriptions and supports KQL queries across them.

Question 2 · Design authentication and authorization solutions

Analysts sign in to Microsoft 365 and Azure apps from home and client sites. Trey must require MFA only when sign-ins are risky or come from unmanaged devices, without prompting on every sign-in. What should you recommend?

  1. Conditional Access with sign-in risk and device conditions
  2. Per-user MFA turned on for every analyst, prompting at each sign-in
  3. Security defaults for the whole tenant
  4. A VPN that analysts must connect to before signing in
Show answer

Answer: A (Conditional Access with sign-in risk and device conditions)

Conditional Access evaluates signals such as sign-in risk and device compliance to require MFA only when needed.

Question 3 · Design data integration

Trey needs a managed service to copy data every night from its on-premises SQL Server to Azure, with scheduling, monitoring and a self-hosted connection to the datacenter. What should you recommend?

  1. Azure Data Factory with a self-hosted integration runtime
  2. Azure Event Grid with a custom topic
  3. AzCopy, run from a scheduled task on a server in the datacenter
  4. Azure Service Bus queues
Show answer

Answer: A (Azure Data Factory with a self-hosted integration runtime)

Data Factory orchestrates data movement on schedules, and the self-hosted integration runtime reaches on-premises sources.
